Lukacs: History and Class Consciousness

The writings collected in this volume encompass Lukacs’ years of apprenticeship in Marxism. They include the most important documents of this period (1918-1930), in order to emphaszie to their experimental nature and not to suggest that they have any topical importance to current controversies about the true nature of Marxism. The writings assembled here do more than simply illuminate the stages of personal development; they also show the path taken by intellectual events generally.
